Half-Square Triangle Block of the Month: October

Monday, October 1, 2012

Welcome to the Half-Square Triangle Block of the Month! For each month
in 2012, I'll present a quick tutorial for a traditional quilt block
using half-square triangles (HST)! It's going to be a lot of fun, feel
free to join in at any time! For past posts see here.

Happy October! Today I'm sharing with you the tenth block of our block of the
month series! Can you believe we only have two months left? This year has flown by!

Hi Jeni! I just want to say thank you for doing these tutorials. I am new to sewing and quilting. They have been extremely helpful. I have enjoyed your photos on instagram as well. You have taught me so much! I have been to thrift shops for vintage sheets even! I wish you lived in Austin so I could take a class from you! Thanks again. Your blog is my FAVORITE!

So THAT'S how people are making those cool chevron quilts! I thought it was some kind of parallelogram or rhombus or some other scary shape from geometry class long, long ago...

I just took a class with Kaye England a couple of weeks ago and learned how to use her Cut for the Cure specialty rulers from Nifty Notions to cut HSTs, QSTs, half rectangles, etc. all from the same strip without having to do the yucky triangle math: http://www.kayeengland.com/searchresult.aspx?CategoryID=28

So even though I have only been lurking on your HST BOTM, I may have to go back and revisit some of the older posts now that I'm more confident about those triangles!
